WILLIAM HARROP
Social Media Manager/Contributor
William Harrop is a recent MA history graduate interested in ways in which the environment intersected and shaped imperialism, and networks of ‘expertise’ in the British Empire with a particular focus on late colonial development schemes and the Middle East after 1945. He has recently completed an MA dissertation examining the ways that the environment paradoxically structured both the process of imperial extension and Arab nationalist opposition in a cotton scheme in the British ruled Aden Protectorate during the 1940s and 1950s.
CHRISTOPHER WHEELER
Contributor
Chris returned to full time education in 2017 after a long career in the City. He was awarded a BA in History by the University of Oxford in 2020 and completed an MA in Modern History at the University of Warwick in 2021. While he has a wide-ranging interest in history, he is particularly interested in the history of the antebellum US and the political realignment that took place in the 1850s. His recent MA dissertation identified why the sudden rise of the Know Nothings, later the American Party, came to an abrupt halt and then went into reverse in 1855.
